SACRED GROUND is a fascinating and important new recording that grew from David Murray's involvement in the acclaimed documentary film, BANISHED, directed by Marco Williams. Although it's virtually unknown, more than a dozen counties in the U.S. violently expelled thousands of families between the Civil War and the Great Depression. The film - and this recording - explores not only these historical facts, but also the legacy of these events in the communities and for the descendants of the families.
